I Adore You...

I adore you, you know.
This isn't by some whim
or notion, or thought.
This isn't something I just decided
was true.

Whenever I write down your name
in a note,
or see it on an envelope,
or written at the bottom of the page by you...
my eyes always come back to it---
over and over again.

Just your name has that effect upon me.

It brings warmth and an overflowing
to my heart and mind.
It amazes me
that you care and believe
in me.

I pause when I pass by somewhere
you've been before...
as if by magic,
part of you still exists there.
I've looked at places where you stood,
or where you sat...
and can still feel your presence.

It gives me pleasure to bring
and share your morning coffee.
I feel warm inside whenever I bring you flowers.
And as beautiful as they are,
they pale in comparison.

I catch myself looking
at you while you talk.
Your eyes... your hair...
lips, the color of your cheeks...
your nose...
and I hear myself reaffirm
my total and complete love
for you.

I take tremendous pride
at the mention of your name by others.
I know that without you
my life would be less than whole.
And the look in my eyes
whenever I see you...
is like viewing the most rare of jewels,
or having possession
of all masterpieces
ever painted.

It's your spirit of life...
your never ending passion
the confidence you show...
that turns heads,
and makes other's smile.

I adore your playfulness...
and the times of serious thought.
My heart quickens
when I catch you looking my way...
and smile.
And you take my breathe away
with only a touch.

All these things,
and so many more
convinces me,
without a shadow of doubt,
without any hesitation,
that my life is now full...
because you have chosen to be with me...
and I adore
you.
